Joyce Valenza has "tagged" me to be part of a meme (a unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another/dictionary.com) created by Alice Yucht, to expand information about those of us in the "edubiblioblogosphere", that is, librarians that blog about education.
